Hi, thanks for your work on this package.
Could you please apply the following patch, which solves the dropbox.desktop already exists problem?

can you fix the goddamn dropbox.desktop already exists error already, that is trivial and as the package stands it is basically incompatible with any automated AUR helper
Hi and thanks for all the maintenance work! What is the new .nvchecker.toml file for?
@yan12125, wow, you're awesome. thanks! Perhaps this should be added to depends line?
I had the "connecting" issue with tray icon too. And I confirm that installing core/dbus-daemon-units instead of core/dbus-broker-units fixed the issue
OK so i am having an issue with this package. While the flatpak package works perfectly, giving lots of options when you right click on the taskbar icon, this package constantly says "connecting" even after you've connected your dropbox account. It must be some sort of dependency issue. Any way to fix?
I got an email from dropbox about "You're invited to download the Dropbox desktop app". Is this the same thing?
That email points me to https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux .
Randomly getting stuck on connecting without any out of the ordinary logs, both during runtime and sometimes even right after starting the app. Is there any workaround?
Is there a way to get dropbox to work with dbus-broker? Or is reverting to debs-daemon the only option for now?
@bauminao It may not be your issue but I noticed after upgrading to dbus-broker the notification icon menu would always be stuck on "Connecting", even though in the background it was connected. Some kind of incompatibility between Dropbox and dbus-broker. Reverting to dbus-daemon fixed it.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of
gpg -k. You should find something like this:yan12125 commented on 2018-08-01 11:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 15:13 (UTC) by yan12125)
If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.
